Topic: Ordo Hereticus

Has anyone given the rules for an Ordo Hereticus army a try yet?

I havn't even SEEN the rules for the Ordo Hereticus.

I put higher priority on getting stuff to convert/paint than spending them on a WD prenumeration(so I'm limited to the occasional issue that is recommended from friends and CA)

If you mean the Ordo Hereticus Strike Force in CJ49, I hear it can be pretty devastating if it all comes in on the 2nd or 3rd turn.  The problem with it is the problem with any deepstrike/reserves army, if it comes in piecemeal, it gets chewed up.

However, it is an extremely cool concept, I just think the current reserve rolls poorly simulate what should be a coordinated assault.

I agree completley (and yes, that is the list that i am refering to).

I like the idea of taking Assassins as Elites.

I am greatly anticipating the Ordo Malleus and new Inquisitor stuff before next summer. woohoo.

Yeah, I'd like a look at the Inquisitor stuff too. Maybe I can start Grey Knights, or IG.

Here are the best pics I've found so far: http://www.sphaerentor.com/wh40k/index.php?file=archiv.php&id=635

I think this might be an interesting turn for things. I think that we will see a lot more people playing Inquisitor on a 28mm scale. I've seen some websites devoted to it, but I think that more players will take an interest in game when they don't have to worry about their not so hot painting skills showing on a bigger scale, and don't want to pay for the more expensive 72mm scalers.

I imagine that the powers of the Gray Knights, Inquisitors and other Ordo Malleus units will help the Imperium counter the new list of powerful abilities of the new Chaos codex.

I have a feeling that it would be a small army but that's cool with me. i mean that way you could spend ages doing a really good job on each of the grey knights etc, I mean they are detailed enough.........

[SparqMan]

Oh they're super detailed. I don't know if I like angular look of the Grey Knights, however.
